wrong error message when assigning floating ip

[Alex Stafeyev]

Newton,
[stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep openstack | grep client
python-openstackclient-3.2.0-2.el7ost.noarch

Executing the following while there is no GW on the router ( from the relevant network) print unclear error. The message should indicate that the cause for failure is lack of port GW configuration on the router.

[stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ openstack floating ip create public --port parent_port
NotFoundException: Not Found

Can you recreate this problem on the latest release of OSC?

[Alex Stafeyev (astafeye)]

was the code in that are changed ? IF not it should be the same.

I will try anyhow though

Hello Alex,

Can you provide steps to reproduce this issue in more elaborate manner , I am unable to replicate this issue on my local devstack setup.

[Alex Stafeyev (astafeye)]

Hi Mohit,
The steps are:

Create a network and subnet.
Attach the subnet as interface to the router.
Create additional port in the created network.
Create external network ( DO NOT SET IT AS GW ON THE ROUTER)

execute:

openstack floating ip create public --port $PORD_ID/NAME

I'm seeing this problem myself. It seems that OSC is not returning the correct error message to the user. Here's the result when using the neutron client:

$ neutron floatingip-create public --port-id 52cfdc42-2042-4598-82a2-0044f28fed26
External network 15f64578-32fb-495f-93d6-9769150a7de8 is not reachable from subnet 8dd3af1b-064c-4d4a-a2f3-e3c71667698d. Therefore, cannot associate Port 52cfdc42-2042-4598-82a2-0044f28fed26 with a Floating IP.

And here's the result with OSC:

$ openstack floating ip create public --port 52cfdc42-2042-4598-82a2-0044f28fed26
Error while executing command: Not Found

This isn't the only command not returning correct error messages. I often find myself falling back to the neutron client to figure out what's actually gone wrong.
